GWD26-Q31

Q31

Which of the following most logically completes the argument??

When people engage in activities that help others ,their brain releases endorphins,

the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being. It has

been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity.

And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others

shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. How-

ever, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not

boost longevity, because.

A.in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.

B.the number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase

C.the feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are mild.

D.it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work through- out his or her life.

E.Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work becomes a source of stress in their lives.

我想问的是为什么不能是D？
我认为D的意思是人们不能坚持，所以即使做一次义工，也就释放一次安多芬，那么少量是不会引起长寿效果的~就像你吃什么药，一般都要那么两三天，吃一颗是没用的~~~

這題意思是 統計的結果即使幫助別人不會長壽也能說得同是因為，幫助別人的大部分是女性，而女性本來就比較長壽。

我做这道题的方法是:看到题干有HOWEVER，直接从HOWEVER开始读，后面讲的是volunteer和longevity的，其他的我不太清楚，前面我没有读。但答案一定要和这两个方面之一相关，这样才能说明问题，于是看选项：
A：两个词都出现了，相关，暂时保留
BDE：仅仅只有VOLUNTEER，没有与LONGEVITY的关系，无关，排除
C：任何都没有出现，无关，因此排除

所以最后答案是A。

做GMAT题我个人觉得采取排除法会更有效，我们可以先根据题目将错误的排除掉，剩下的就是正确的。

恩，谢谢啦，对于正确答案我没疑惑了，可是我还是想不通D为什么不对呢？

chy48339145

可是D呢~~~我真的想不通~~~

个人愚见：
这句话理解了好久
理解原文最后一句话最关键:即使volunteering不能增加人的寿命,那组统计数据也一样,没有变化However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because. ....
意思是要支持statistics 的结论志愿者寿命长不因为是他们帮助人导致寿命长，而是因为志愿者的多数是女人，而女人本身寿命就长题目没说不参加即使不增加寿命
A 先是说女人帮助了，而且还加了常识【女人本来就比男人的寿命长】更加支持statistics  数据显示的：帮助的人比不帮助的人寿命长】

D:it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work through- out his or her life

regular schedule  与题目说的寿命增加无关。有错误请指正

即便做volunteer work不能导致长寿统计结果也会和预期的一样。

我认为文中的reasoning是：
题干前部分给出 前提：regularly volunteering 的人 和 长寿的是同一批人，结论：regularly volunteering  导致 长寿
题干后部分用 however转折，说 即使 regularly volunteering  没有导致 长寿，调查结果不变，即 regularly volunteering 的人 和 长寿的人 还是同一批人。
问原因？？？
潜在的原因只能是否定 前面结论 “regularly volunteering  导致 长寿”，即否定 A导致B，所以潜在的原因只能是 B导致A，即长寿的人喜欢 regularly volunteering。
所以选A 。女人比男人更喜欢 regularly volunteering，同时女人比男人更长寿。当然，如果这句话改成：.in the communities studied, women tend to live longer than men do, also women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were 可能更好些

A是OA么？
